So glad your not curled in a ball. I think I need to. I have complained of<br />
flank pain on left for a long time. I am real short waisted and it is hard<br />
to tell. Just a couple of days ago I started getting bad pain on the right<br />
side. I have a mechanical back so I thought that was what it was but it<br />
isn't like the back pain I have had in the past. I am not able to take most<br />
medicines. If it has a side effect I get it so I just try to ignore and go<br />
my way but this time it is different hard to ignore. I walk with my husband<br />
4 1/2 miles three times a week and did it yesterday but all of a sudden<br />
this pain grabs me. I am trying to decide if it is my back or my kidney on<br />
that side that has a small benign cyst. Any suggestions? Thanks and Happy<br />
New Year Everyone.<br />

Hi (mommasaid)<br />
Ouch..... That pain you are describing sounds very familiar. I hope you are feeling better by now but if you are in severe pain I would not hesitate to go to the ER. <br />
My story is similar. I thought I had another kidney stone. To make a very long story short, that same pain landed me in the ER and led to my 2 CT and doctor  diagnosis. I am very lucky as my pain passed after a few days. I was given something at the ER that had me drooling into my lap and feeling no pain at all (what a  relief). After that they prescribed Hydrocodone and Naproxen which barely took the edge off. I think it was about 3 sleepless nights then it started to subside. Never lost appetite and didn't have nausea. No one could give me answers beyond Mesenteric Panniculitis (Ha! even spell check doesn't recognize it).<br />
I can't take a lot of the medications also. I am T2 diabetic and have arrhythmia issues associated with Mitral Valve Prolapse. You attitude is a little like mine, just plow through it, keep going the best you can. Sometimes though you get hit so hard it knocks you down and you've got to get some help.<br />
I am not knowledgeable enough to offer you a recommendation but maybe some of the other people on the board can.<br />
Wish you the best, which can always be just a day away.Von
